Theoretical framework

The program builds on professor Ruppert’s theoretical framework of an Identity oriented Psychotrauma theory – IoPT. Based on established trauma theories and his own research, as well as extensive therapeutic experience with people all over the world, both individually and in group settings. Prof. Franz Ruppert developed the theoretical framework within Identity-oriented psychotrauma theory and therapy: IoPT. This framework is based on several theoretical foundations and one practical method:

• The Human Psyche: well-being, stress and trauma
• Identity and the Trauma of Identity
• The Trauma of Love and the Trauma of Sexuality
• The Perpetrator-Victim-Dynamic in relations
• The Intention Method and the Resonance Technique.
• Working with IoPT in one-to-one settings, small- and bigger groups settings.

The method by which we implement the insights and objectives of IoPT, is called the Intention Method. Which means the following: A person who wants to work therapeutically on him- or herself first considers his/hers intention: What do I want to achieve through this work? What is my goal? What would I like to look at more closely? What is the next steps in my therapy?.More about theory and method
